<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;28, 2010 Ronald Fenech was granted an option to purchase 750,000 shares (the &#147;Option
Shares&#148;) of Thor Industries, Inc. (&#147;Thor&#148;) common stock under the Thor Industries 2006 Equity
Incentive Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) with a per share exercise price of $35.18. The Option Shares will vest
in equal installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant (or if, earlier
upon a change in control of Thor) subject to Ronald Fenech&#146;s continuing employment with Thor on
such date. However, 50,000 of the Option Shares that are eligible to vest on each of the vesting
dates will not vest and will automatically be forfeited if William Fenech, the brother of the
recipient, is a continuing employee of Thor on such vesting date. All of the unvested Option Shares
will vest and become exercisable upon a change of control of Thor; provided, however, that if William Fenech remains a
continuing employee of Thor immediately following the change of control, Ronald Fenech will forfeit a number of Option
Shares equal to the number of unvested Option Shares owned by William Fenech that vest at the time of the change of control.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Ronald Fenech&#146;s service with Thor is terminated for any reason other than cause, any unvested outstanding Option Shares
will be forfeited as of the date of termination of employment. If his service is terminated for cause, all outstanding
Options Shares, whether or not vested, will be forfeited. Ronald Fenech will be able to exercise
any vested Option Shares that are not forfeited upon termination pursuant to the preceding sentence
until April&nbsp;28, 2020. In connection with, and in consideration of, this option grant, Ronald
Fenech has agreed to refrain from engaging in competitive activities and from soliciting Thor
employees and customers during his employment and for 12&nbsp;months following termination of
employment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the foregoing, on April&nbsp;23, 2010, Ronald Fenech entered into a letter agreement
with Thor, pursuant to which he will be paid a base salary of $1,000,000 and additional
compensation equal to 4% of the pre-tax profit from operations of Thor&#146;s Recreation Vehicle Group,
up to a maximum of $11,000,000 in total annual compensation.
